matt's:


movies:
1. Lake of Fire. Documentary on abortion released in 06/07, with much footage from the early 90's. The camera work is exceptional. Black and white, maybe saying something with that? many interviews with modern philosophers, Noam Chomsky most notably, politicians, medical workers, bible beaters and "Roe". This is not a sided documentary, which is what i like most about it. digs very deep into the extremes at which the far christian right has taken their anti-abortion stance, now getting cozy with the justification for murdering abortion providers as god's will. also digs very deep into the reality of abortion with many scenes staged behind the head of the practioner, watching the procedure carried out.

2. Kill Your Idols. wow this documentary takes a nose dive into shitsville half way through. the first half is footage of the new york no-wave scene and interviews with members of. very drawn to the lydia lunch and m. gira pieces and reminded how awesome Theoretical Girls were. somehow a bridge is then made from no-wave to 2003ish NYC bands like, the Yeah Yeah Yeah's? and for what exactly? the answer to that is never totally revealed but it seems like the point was to show that these modern bands can't hold a candle to the new york that was; musically, creatively, in spirit and in strenght. lydia lunch gives a lashing that forces me to imagine karen o. crying in a corner clutching a teddy bear.
